[IsraelTimes] Jihadist group shows off Hebrew labels on munitions purportedly found in aftermath of raid in restive Egyptian peninsula

The Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....’s official media outlet claimed Wednesday that Israeli war planes recently struck civilian homes in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula.

A video released by the Amaq news agency showed Hebrew labels on the munitions found in the rubble of the Arclight airstrike in northern Sinai.

"These are the remains from the bombings by the Jews, the grandchildren of monkeys and pigs, who are aided by dictator Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, against the mujaheddin in the Sinai," one fighter said in the video.

Israel has assisted Egypt throughout its fight with the Islamic State terrorist group in the Sinai, and its precursors. According to foreign reports, this has included conducting dronezaps in the peninsula on Islamic State targets. It has also reportedly taken the form of significant intelligence sharing.

More publicly, since 2013, Israel has also allowed additional Egyptian forces into the peninsula, beyond the level permitted under the 1979 peace accord between the two countries. Heavy weapons, like tanks, artillery and attack helicopters, have been brought into Sinai to fight the Islamists, a sign that Jerusalem is not concerned those big Egyptian guns could be turned against it.

Earlier this year, The New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... reported that Israel was covertly carrying out a full-blown aerial campaign against IS targets in Sinai, with Sissi’s blessing. The Israeli aircraft are reportedly often unmarked and sometimes use indirect routes in a bid to cover up the origin of the strikes.

Early this year, the Egyptian military launched a massive security operation in northern Sinai as part of its efforts to oust the jihadist group from the peninsula’s restive north.

"Turning people’s homes into rubble is part of the same self-defeating security plan that has restricted food and movement to inflict pain on Sinai residents," said Sarah Leah Whitson, the watchdog’s Mideast director.

HRW said also the destruction has extended well beyond two government-designated security buffer zones in the Sinai cities of al-Arish and Rafah.

Egypt has built the buffer zone along Gazoo’s border in an effort to prevent jihadists from using a vast underground tunnel network that was created to evade a decade-old Israeli and Egyptian blockade of the territory. It also bulldozed homes and olive groves around the el-Arish airport where IS fighters attempted to hit the country’s defense and interior ministers in December.

The leader of the Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", terror group in the Gazoo Strip has boasted about the large amounts of cash, equipment and expertise it has received from Iran and said the organization is in touch with the Iranian-backed Hezbollah group in Leb "on an almost daily basis."

In excerpts from the interview, translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, Sinwar claimed that Hamas had "greatly developed its capabilities" thanks to friends, "first and foremost the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran," which was giving "a lot of money, equipment and expertise" to the group’s military arm, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, as well as to other factions in the coastal enclave.

"We have excellent relations with our brothers in Hezbollah," he went on. "Our relations with them are extremely developed. We work together and coordinate and are in touch on an almost daily basis. The relations are at the best stage ever."

"Similarly, our ties with the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran, with brother Qassem Soleimani and the other brothers in the IRGC leadership, are very strong, powerful and warm."

Asked by the interviewer whether Hamas would provide Israel with "unprecedented surprises" if it attacked the Strip, Sinwar said, "Absolutely."

Diyala (IraqiNews.com) Six people were killed and injured as Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... members attacked a house of a primitive in a village, northeast of Diyala, a security source was quoted saying on Wednesday.

Speaking to Alghad Press, the source said, "Islamic State members attacked house of Sheikh Taha al-Khaldi in a village on the outskirts of Jalawla region, northeast of Diyala, using weapons and hand grenades."

"Three people of Khaldi’s family were killed, while three others were maimed as the attack was foiled," the source said indicating "information on murder of some IS members during the confrontations."

Security troops, according to the source, "arrived at the village and thwarted the attack. Situation is under control."

[IsraelTimes] Amid widening rift with Paleostinians, US says it will examine Ramallah's accession to several bodies, in a move officials described as 'counterproductive'

The United States is considering whether to cut funding to two UN agencies and the chemical weapons watchdog after the Paleostinians joined the organizations, a US official said Wednesday.

In a move aimed at boosting their international profile, the Paleostinians have joined the UN trade development organization UNCTAD, industrial development agency UNIDO and the Chemical Weapons Convention which is upheld by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).

US legislation bars funding for UN agencies or affiliates that grant membership to Paleostine, which has the status of a non-member observer state at the United Nations...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks....

"It has been the consistent position of the United States that efforts by the Paleostinians to join international organizations are premature and counterproductive," a US official said.

"We will review the application of US legislative restrictions related to Paleostinian membership in certain UN agencies and organizations," the official added.

The Paleostinian move comes amid a rift with President Donald Trump...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...’s administration over its decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The Paleostinians want to make East Jerusalem the capital of their future state.

Last week, citing the US embassy move to Jerusalem, Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... recalled the Paleostinian envoy to Washington Tuesday, marking a new low in already frayed ties between Ramallah and the White House.

Paleostinians froze contacts with US officials in December over the recognition of Jerusalem, saying the move exposed Washington’s pro-Israel bias and rejecting it as a mediator.

Nickolay Mladenov, the UN coordinator for the Middle East, told the Security Council that the Paleostinians had joined Geneva-based UNCTAD, Vienna-based UNIDO and the Chemical Weapons Convention last week.

The United States withdrew in 1996 from UNIDO, a little-known agency that promotes "inclusive and sustainable industrial development," according to its website.

The OPCW and UNCTAD rely on voluntary contributions from UN member-states to fund its activities as well as regular funding for its budget.

The United States withdrew some funding for UNESCO when the Paleostinians joined the cultural and education agency in 2011 and last year pulled out of the agency altogether.

The Trump administration has also cut funds to the UN Paleostinian refugee agency, leaving UNRWA struggling to fill a major budget gap for its education and health programs.

The Paleostinians angered Israel when they became a state-party to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in 2015.

Israel is vehemently opposed to Paleostinian recognition in world bodies ahead of a peace deal and has pursued intense diplomatic efforts to stop them.

The Paleostinian announcements at the UN came in the wake of a visit by Paleostinian officials Tuesday to the Hague-based International Criminal Court, where they urged its prosecutor to probe alleged war crimes committed against Paleostinians by Israel.

Paleostinian Authority Foreign Minister Riyad al-Malki said the complaint seeks an investigation into Israeli policies in the West Bank, Gazoo Strip, and East Jerusalem since the Paleostinians joined the ICC in June 2014.

Israel rejected the Paleostinian request as "cynical" and "absurd."

In response to Tuesday’s move at the ICC, Israel said it took a "severe view" of the Paleostinian request. It accused the Paleostinians of violent incitement against Israel and exploiting women and kiddies as human shields.

A Paleostinian gunman opened fired at Israeli Border Police forces manning a checkpoint northwest of the West Bank town of Bethlehem Wednesday night.

There were no casualties in the attack.

The gunman fled and security forces gave chase, during which time the assailant once again fired at his pursuers. He was eventually subdued and taken into custody, officials said.

The gunman was lightly injured during his arrest.

In the Gazoo Strip IDF forces tossed in the slammer... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... an unarmed Paleostinian who crossed into Israel from the south of the territory, army says.

The suspect was arrested just after he crossed the fence. He was taken in for questioning.

On Wednesday security forces arrested two Paleostinians suspected of shooting at an Israeli vehicle outside Ramallah the previous day.

The Shin Bet said in a statement that the suspects, Paleostinians from the Ramallah area, "implicated themselves in the incident" during their initial investigation.

They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....Lions of Islam have kidnapped and executed a tribal chief in Iraq’s Kirkuk as the province continues to record security breaches by the group against civilians and security members.

Alsumaria News quoted a security source saying that an armed IS group invaded late Tuesday a home in the village of Kanaan, al-Riyadh, southwest of Kirkuk,... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... and kidnapped the village’s chief, Mahguob Khalaf, before executing him by gunfire.

Several tribal chiefs have been assassinated by IS over the past few months after the group lost control over all of the territories they had occupied since 2014.

During its occupation of Iraqi territories, IS had used to execute civilians for fleeing its strongholds or for cooperating with Iraqi security forces.

Iraq declared the recapture of IS strongholds in Kirkuk in October, and a final victory over the group in all of Iraq in December. But since then, the group has staged several attacks against civilians and security forces.

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) Iraqi Vice President Nuri al-Maliki’s coalition intends to continue recent talks with kurdish political representatives regarding the formation of the next Iraqi government, his office said.

Hisham al-Rikabi, director of Maliki’s office, said in statements on Wednesday that the State of the Law coalition will launch a new phase of talks within the next couple of days with Kurdish political forces after a meeting between Maliki and a former Kurdish president, Masud Barzani, head of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, in Baghdad yesterday.

According to Rikabi, "the meeting between the head of the State of the Law Coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, and the KDP delegation in Baghdad has resulted into resolving lots of past issues between both sides, as well as reaching understandings in relation to the formation of the largest parliamentary bloc".

Maliki’s list came forth according to the final outcome.

No list has ensured an outright majority, and according to the constitution, the new government should be announced before 90 days after the announcement of results.

[Twitchy] The money shot:
"A club will be fined by the League if its personnel are on the field and do not stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem."The NFLPA shotgun to the foot response:
"The NFL chose to not consult the union in the development of this new "policy." NFL players have shown their patriotism through their social activism, their community service, in support of our military and lawe nforcement and yes, through their protests to raise awareness about the issues they care about.
The vote by NFL club CEOs today contradicts the statements made to our player leadership by Commissioner Roger Goodell and the Chairman of the NFL's Management Council John Mara about the principles, values and patriotism of our League.

Our union will review the new "policy" and challenge any aspect of it that is inconsistent with the collective bargaining agreement."This is gonna' be fun!

#2:
Your problem is not Trump, he's just a symptom of a deep and underlying pathology in America - one that values identity as an American, something that is an anathema to the crowd you keep in your lofty retreats, but one which provides the secure environment through their sacrifice of mind and body that you and yours exploit in your station.

#3:
It took them two years to come up with this? I could have told them that after the first 'protest'. To wit - you want to do something other than play the game when you're on the field? Fine - do it on your own time, not ours.

#6:
According to this ESPN article, the owners are giving the players an out by letting the stay in the locker room while the anthem is playing. So the owners didn't do enough and they didn't do it soon enough. I don't know how they recover from this.

#8:
Just those on the field, mind you. Those who wish to protest get another five minutes to work off the hangover, and then they can do the anal-fist charge onto the field afterwards.

Nope, found my freedom, not going back to the crazy ex.

Nothing to do with Trump, tipping point for me was/is the Jovan Belcher. Is, because they dug him up after a couple years and did a brain exam and found that some dude who had been drink'n and coke'n hard for 10-15 years, and especially hard the night of the murder-suicide, may have some brain injury from football which made him susceptible to NRA brainwashing.

Anyone else snicker at the Community Service bit?

I think this all but confirms that the upper management of the NFL are drunken clams, and if I had any business exposure to pro football I would start limiting that exposure last year at the latest, but now for sure.

#9:
I believe microcuncisions are real and they will doom the NFL as parents prevent kids from playing and eventually that works its way up the system until there aren't enough players to have a quality league.

NFL knows this and want to maximize cash before things start to get worse.

[AAWSAT] The Saudi judiciary is prosecuting a "secret cell" accused of supporting ISIS, being involved in the killing of two coppers and attempting to target officers in the Interior Ministry and coppers at checkpoints.

The Specialized Criminal Court in Riyadh held a hearing session on the prosecutor general's case against 14 defendants, 12 of whom were Saudis, one Syrian and one Sudanese.

According to the lawsuit, two bandidosturbans participated in the formation of a terrorist cell belonging to a secret armed organization.

The cell aims at shedding blood, destabilizing the internal security in the country, killing coppers, assaulting public property and destroying it, carrying out acts of sabotage and chaos, seeking to cause strife and division in the country and communicating with terrorist elements in the Kingdom and abroad.

The lawsuit confirmed that the defendants assassinated two coppers after they were deliberately shot by a machine gun while carrying out their work in a security patrol.

They also targeted a senior officer, an officer of the Ministry of Interior and security personnel working at the Sultana checkpoint, coppers at Raghba cop shoppe and the visitors of the tourist sites in Raghba center to destabilize the security of the country.

One of the accused made explosive grenades (Molotov) to use them in disrupting the internal security. He also trained in his father's farm to engage in booby-traps, bomb-making, improvised bombs and bombing in order to carry out a terrorist act in case ISIS ordered him to do so.

[All Africa] Webster Shamu's sacking as Mashonaland West provincial affairs minister suggests President Emmerson Mnangagwa was still too grateful to those who helped him get into power to a point of allowing them to negatively influence some government decisions.

Mnangagwa took the bold decision Monday to fire a sitting minister from his government.

Although no reasons were given, Shamu's name has been linked to alleged rigging in Zanu PF's primaries which saw presidential advisor Mutsvangwa suffer an embarrassing defeat to a party competitor recently.

Fears abound that Mutsvangwa and vice president Constantino Chiwenga wield too much negative influence on Mnangagwa.

"I don't think it's about negative things," said political analyst Rejoice Ngwenya while speaking to NewZim-bob-we.com.

"It's more like Mnangagwa owes Chiwenga a lot, so he is bound to bend. Everything else is political gamesmanship, because ED is closer to people than the soldiers.

"He can always argue about the 'Voice of God'. Shamu is a political baby pamper, a disposable one."'

But Zanu PF secretary for administration Obert Mpofu denied the President was being remote controlled, saying the latter's light approach to governance issues was being misconstrued.

"The president can choose to appoint or disappoint," Mpofu said, before going overboard in Mnangagwa praise.

[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Russian defense minister Sergei Shoigu has claimed that the terror groups are moving to Afghanistan from Syria as he emphasizes on bolstering the capabilities of the Uzbekistan security forces.

Shoigu reportedly made the remarks during his meeting with his Uzbek counterpart Abdusalom Azizov.

Emphasizing that military cooperation between Russia and Uzbekistan is totally specific and important, Shoigu said "It refers, first and foremost, to the risks and threats coming from areas bordering Uzbekistan."

"In this regard, one cannot but point to the growing threat of international terrorism that has been moving from Syria to other countries, including Uzbekistan," he was quoted as saying by TASS News Agency.

"We cannot say that the situation in Afghanistan is getting safer and more stable as groups leaving Syria are particularly moving to Afghanistan. That said, it is highly important to train the military that would be able to protect the state in case the need arises," the Russian defense minister said.

This comes as reports emerged earlier suggesting that the ISIS holy warriors are attempting to travel to Afghanistan from Syria and Iraq.

[Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least six hard boyz including two local leaders of the group were killed in a series of Arclight airstrikes carried out by the Afghan Air Force in northern Kunduz province of Afghanistan.

A main compound of the Taliban along with two outposts was also destroyed in the airstrikes, the Shaheen Corps added.

[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Afghan armed forces pounded the Taliban...the Pashtun equivalent of men... positions with heavy artillery strikes in response to the group’s coordinated attack on Ajristan district in Ghazni.

The 203rd Thunder Corps of the Afghan Military in the Southeast said the Afghan armed forces in coordination with the other security personnel targeted the Taliban positions with heavy artillery strikes to respond to the Taliban attacks.

According to the officials, several members of the security forces bit the dust during the festivities with the Taliban Death Eaters, including two senior police officials.

North Korea will reconsider the planned summit with the United States if Washington sticks to "unlawful and outrageous acts," its vice foreign minister said Thursday.

In a statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency, Choe Son-hui, a North Korean vice foreign minister, said that whether the June 12 summit between its leader Kim Jong-un and U.S. President Donald Trump will happen as scheduled entirely rests on the decision and behavior of the U.S.

"Whether the U.S. will meet us at a meeting room or encounter us at nuclear-to-nuclear showdown is entirely dependent upon the decision and behavior of the United States," Choe said.

"In case the U.S. offends against our goodwill and clings to unlawful and outrageous acts, I will put forward a suggestion to our supreme leadership for reconsidering the DPRK-U.S. summit," she added.
...
Choe singled out U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, lambasting him for mentioning a Libya-style approach and military option against the North in a recent media interview.

"U.S. Vice-President Pence has made unbridled and impudent remarks that North Korea might end like Libya, military option for North Korea never came off the table, the U.S. needs complete, verifiable, and irreversible denuclearization, and so on," she said. "As a person involved in the U.S. affairs, I cannot suppress my surprise at such ignorant and stupid remarks gushing out from the mouth of the U.S. vice-president."

It would be interesting to see the result of a NORK missile test right about now.

[RADIOSHABELLE] A suicide boom-mobileer from Somalia’s Islamist group al-Shabaab... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord... hit a military convoy outside Mogadishu Tuesday, causing an unknown number of deaths.

The attack targeting a passing military convoy occurred in Afgoye, a district about 30 km northwest of Mogadishu, police officer Maj. Abdiqadir Ali said.

"What we are sure [of] is a military vehicle was hit," Ali said, adding there were casualties but the corpse count had not yet been determined.

Al-Shabaab’s military operations front man Abdiasis Abu Musab told Rooters they were responsible for the attack.

The group, an ally of al-Qaeda, is fighting to topple the country’s western-backed central government and impose its rule based on its own interpretation of sharia law.

Al-Shabaab also wants to force out an African Union...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful...-mandated AMISOM peacekeeping force that is helping defend the government of President Mohammad Abdullahi Mohammad.

"One of our mujahideen [was] martyred after he rammed his car into a Somali military convoy," Abu Musab said.

One military pick-up truck was destroyed while 12 soldiers were killed by the blast, he said and added that a second vehicle in the convoy was also damaged.

The soldiers in the convoy were U.S.-trained Somali military commandoes. al-Shabaab have targeted them on the same road several times in the past.

[RADIOSHABELLE] Somaliland authorities have on Tuesday raided several buildings in the state capital, Hargeisa and nabbedYou have the right to remain silent... five people accused of issuing fake Somali passports.

The suspects have taken into custody and expected to be arraigned in court, according to the police sources.

They were found with at least several passports and other documents which the witnesses said would require "a person with hawk eyes" to detect as fake.

The police officials declined to give further details of the suspects saying investigations will be launched into their cases.

Late last year, Somaliland authorities detained six people in connection fake passports.

[RADIOSHABELLE] Suspected American fighter jets were reported to have carried out an overnight Arclight airstrike in Lower Shabelle region, targeting al-Shabaab... Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda... bases, residents said.

The strike happened on the outskirt of Arbiska village, located near the capital, Mogadishu late last night, and no casualties reported.

Similarly, AU forces stationed in the area have fired mortar shells towards the suspected al-Shabaab hideouts, according to a local resident, who asked to remain anonymous.

The shelling came hours after a deadly car kaboom targeting Somali military convoy has killed more than 10 people in Afgoye district, about 30Km northwest of Mogadishu.

[PRESSTV] Syria’s deputy foreign minister has hailed Iran and the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement’s assistance to Damascus in its counter-terrorism fight, saying the pair’s withdrawal from the Arab country is not up for discussion.

"This topic is not even on the agenda of discussion, since it concerns the illusory sovereignty of Syria. We cannot let anyone even raise this issue," Faisal Mekdad told Russia’s Sputnik news agency on Wednesday.

He also said that those who demanded the pullout of the Iranian military advisers and Hezbollah forces from Syria "are considering the possibility of intervention in all parts of Syria, including the support of snuffies in Syria and elsewhere in the region."

Iran offers Syria advisory military support in its fight against terrorism. Hezbollah forces have also been aiding the Syrian government clear areas bordering Leb from terrorist groups.

On Monday, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo threatened Iran with the "strongest sanctions in history" if it does not comply with a list of 12 US demands, including the withdrawal of "all forces under Iranian command throughout the entirety of Syria."

[PRESSTV] The Paleostinian Islamic Jihad...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... resistance movement has warned that it will target Tel Aviv in case the Israeli regime presses ahead with its acts of aggression against the impoverished and besieged Gazoo Strip.

Islamic Jihad front man Daoud Shihab said on Wednesday that Israel is desperately looking for a military confrontation with the resistance movement as a way out of the current impasse it has faced in the wake of the recent "Great March of Return" protests.

Shihab added that the latest Israeli Arclight airstrikes on several sites in the Gazoo Strip point to the Tel Aviv regime’s defeat, failure and helplessness in the face of the voice of truth, which is more powerful than the terrorism being waged by Israel.

He stressed that the Islamic Jihad resistance movement is fully prepared for any Israeli military aggression, warning Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and members of his cabinet that Tel Aviv will get bombed if they continue their aggressive policies towards the Gazoo Strip and its residents.

"We have the ability to carry out such a thing. We have nothing to lose. No one will then have the right to hold us responsible for the escalation. At that time, Netanyahu will not be able to continue with his deception to justify his failures," Shihab pointed out.

Earlier on Wednesday, Israeli fighter jets destroyed a Paleostinian boat in Gazoo seaport that was supposed to welcome an international flotilla hoping to break the decade-long Israeli blockade on the coastal sliver.

Gazoo wouldn't BE so "impoverished" if they hadn't burned all their own toilets down and destroyed all the Green Houses the Jewzzz gave them before they left and GAVE it them to them,

Oh...and the Airport the Jewzz built, and the thriving Tourist Trade the Jews built up and which the Gazoos no longer enjoy ( for some reason). Any tourists want to fly in to "enjoy" the beaches and the Hotels the Jewzzz left behind when they left? No?

But its the Jewzz fault the Gazoos are eating each other and killing and vomiting on each other and burning tires and storming the Israeli border to get the hell out of Gazoo ( for some reason ).

[PRESSTV] A senior adviser to Iraqi holy man Seyyed Moqtada Tater al-Sadr... the Iranian catspaw holy man who was 22 years old in 2003 and was nearing 40 in 2010. He spends most of his time in Iran, safely out of the line of fire, where he's learning to be an ayatollah... tells Press TV that the presence of US troops in Iraq is regarded as occupation.

Diyaa Assadi, who is a senior adviser to Iraqi holy man, al-Sadr said that "the US was still being seen as an occupying country."

Responding to the presence of American forces, he stressed that US troops would be dealt as occupying force until their full withdrawal from the country. "There are still troops in Iraq," he said.

Also earlier this year, a senior commander of Iraq's Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), said now that the ISISTakfiri...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... terrorist group had been defeated in the country, there was no need for the presence of US troops.

[PRESSTV] Moslem inmates at a jail in the US state of Alaska are being "starved" and given pork products during Ramadan, a new lawsuit claims.

For one thing, Moslem prisoners are given food with substantially lower calories compared to other inmates, said the Council on American-Islamic Relations... the Moslem Brüderbund's American arm ... (CAIR) in the federal lawsuit filed on Wednesday.

"Officials at the Anchorage Correctional Complex have provided Moslem inmates with less than half the calories they require -- as little as 500 calories on some days ‐ which amounts to a starvation diet."

Moslems observing the holy month eat and drink only between sundown and sunrise, but the inmates fall victim to discriminatory behavior from authorities who deny them Halal meals.

This is while officials at the prison are constitutionally forbidden from "compelling inmates to choose between their faith and food."

"We hope that a court will do what Anchorage Correctional Complex officials will not: ensure that Moslem inmates are not starved or forced to violate the principles of their faith during the holy month of Ramadan," Lena Masri, the national litigation director for CAIR, said in a statement.

The Alaska Department of Corrections has not yet commented on the lawsuit.

CAIR has demanded a court order for "adequate nutrition, free of pork products" for the prisoners.

[PRESSTV] The United Nations...a formerly good idea gone bad... Middle East envoy has stressed that "Gazoo is on the verge of collapse."

Nikolay Mladenov gave the warning while addressing the UN Security Council on Wednesday, where he called for urgent action to relieve the suffering of Gazoo's "increasingly desperate" people.

He added that people of Gazoo were living with "crippling Israeli closures and with diminishing hopes for an end to the occupation and a political solution."

"Gazoo's infrastructure teeters on the verge of total collapse, particularly its electricity and water networks as well as its health system," he noted.

Mladenov further called on the international community to join "in condemning in the strongest possible terms the actions that have led to the loss of so many lives in Gazoo" since March.

Israeli forces killed at least 62 Paleostinians during protests near the Gazoo fence on the eve of the 70th anniversary of the Nakba Day (Day of Catastrophe), which coincided with Washington’s embassy relocation from Tel Aviv to occupied Jerusalem al-Quds.

More than 2,700 Paleostinians were also maimed as the Israeli forces used snipers, Arclight airstrikes, tank fire and tear gas to target the demonstrators.

"Some of our military positions between Albu Kamal and Hmeimeh were hit this morning in an aggression by American coalition warplanes," the Syrian official news agency, SANA, quoted a military source as saying on early Thursday.

The source added that no casualties were caused by the attacks that only resulted in "material damage."

The US-led coalition has been conducting Arclight airstrikes against what are said to be ISIS targets inside Syria since September 2014 without any authorization from the Damascus government or a UN mandate.

During a meeting with heads of the three branches of the Iranian government as well as officials in Tehran on Wednesday, Ayatollah Khamenei referred to what he called "the fundamental, deep and constant enmity" of the United States towards the Islamic Theocratic Republic and said Iran would definitely defeat the US if Iranian officials fulfill their duty.

"From the beginning of the [victory of the Islamic] Revolution to the present day, the United States has carried out various types of hostilities to undermine the Islamic Theocratic Republic and has organized various types of political, economic, military and propaganda activities against it," the Leader said.

[DAWN] A mother was convicted in a British court on Tuesday of deceiving her teenage daughter into travelling to Pakistain to enter into a forced marriage, in the first successful prosecution of its kind.

The woman ‐ who cannot be named without uncovering the identity of her daughter ‐ was found guilty following a trial at Birmingham Crown Court where a jury heard how the girl had sobbed as she was wedded to a male relative 16 years her senior, the same man who had sex with her and left her pregnant on an earlier trip.

The then 13-year-old had to undergo an abortion on returning from Pakistain to Britannia, but concerns over the girl’s welfare were allayed by her mother who said the pregnancy was a result of "two teenagers who had sneakily had sex", prosecutors said.

Jurors heard how as the girl approached her 18th birthday she was tricked by her mother into returning to Pakistain on what she was told would be a family holiday.

The couple were then married in September 2016 despite objections from the girl, before she was returned to Britannia with the assistance of the Home Office and her mother was tossed in the clinkDrop the rod and step away witcher hands up! in January 2017.

The mother was convicted on a charge of deceiving the victim into travelling abroad to enter into a false marriage, the first conviction of its kind, as well as for the forced marriage itself and for perjury, after she lied about the incident in the High Court ‐ where she was summoned when concerns were raised by authorities.

As the verdicts were read the defendant appeared shocked and was remanded in jug for sentencing on Wednesday, as her daughter watched from the public gallery.

Judge Patrick Thomas QC told the jury the adjournment was appropriate as the case was "entirely novel", with no other relevant case law to rely upon.

"Forcing someone into marriage against their wishes is a criminal offence, and a breach of their human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions...," said Elaine Radway of the Crown Prosecution Service.

"It is thanks to the brave testimony of the victim that this serious offending was uncovered and that there was sufficient evidence to secure the conviction today." The new offence of forced marriage came into effect in June 2014, but prosecutions have been rare.

However the Forced Marriage Unit ‐ a joint Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Home Office team ‐ provided support to about 1,200 potential cases in 2017, a government front man said, making Britannia a "world leader" in tackling the problem.

[DAWN] About 26 pro-government forces based in Syria’s desert died in a surprise attack by the holy warriorIslamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group on Tuesday, a day after the jihadists’ ouster from the outskirts of Damascus, a monitor said.

"At least 26 regime soldiers and allied forces were killed in an IS attack at dawn today, against one of their posts in the Syrian Badiya," said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Among them were Iranian militiamen, said the Britannia-based monitor.

The Badiya is a vast desert region stretching from central Syria to the eastern border with Iraq, where IS still holds small pockets.

Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman said the attack hit a small base east of Palmyra, the famed ancient city that IS has overrun twice in Syria’s war.

"It began with a boom-mobile targeting regime forces that set off festivities that are still ongoing," he said. Five IS fighters were also killed.

"IS fighters launched their attack from a pocket they control in the Badiya, and which was the destination for IS fighters evacuated from southern Damascus on Sunday and Monday," Abdel Rahman added.

[DAWN] The US Trea­sury blacklisted five Iranians who allegedly supplied ballistic missile technology to Yemen’s Houthi re­­bels on Tuesday, a day after Wash­­­ington warned Tehran it faced the “strongest sanctions in history.”

The Treasury said the five placed on its sanctions list were linked to an operation by the Iranian Revolu­tionary Guard Corps to support Houthi attacks on cities in Saudi Arabia, which leads the Gulf coalition fighting the Yemeni rebels.

According to Riyadh, the Houthis have launched more than 130 ballistic missiles at Saudi Arabia since 2015, many of them intercepted by anti-missile defence systems.

In November last year they launched a missile which reached Riyadh, and the attacks have increased this year.

Iran has denied supplying missiles to the Houthis, while the group has insisted that they developed the missiles themselves.

Actions by the Revolutionary Guards “have enabled the Houthis to launch missiles at Saudi cities and oil infrastructure,” said Treas­ury Secretary Steve Mnuchin in a statement.

[DAWN] IS fighters in Afgha­nistan are making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year from illegal mining of talc, much of which ends up in the United States and Europe, advocacy group Global Witness reported on Tuesday.

About 500,000 tonnes of talc, used in products ranging from paint to baby powder, were exported from Afghanistan in the year to March, according to Afghan mining ministry figures cited in the group’s report.

Almost all went to Pakistain, where much of it is re-exported. Pakistain provides more than a third of US imports of talc and much also ends up in the European Union...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing..., it said.

"Unwitting American and European consumers are inadvertently helping fund holy warrior groups in Afghanistan," Nick Donovan, Campaign Director at Global Witness, said in a statement, calling for stronger checks on imports.

[DAWN] Rohingya faceless myrmidons massacred Hindu villagers during last year’s uprising in Myanmar’s Rakhine, Amnesty Inter­national said on Tuesday in a report that sheds fresh light on the complex ethnic rivalries in the state.

The killings took place on Aug 25, 2017, the report said, the same day that the Rohingya bandidos Death Eaters staged coordinated deadly raids on police posts that tipped the state into crisis.

Myanmar’s military responded to the Death Eater raids with harsh reprisals.

The UN says the army crackdown amounted to "ethnic cleansing" of the Rohingya, with soldiers and vigilante mobs accused of killing civilians and burning down villages.

But the Rohingya faceless myrmidons have also been accused of abuses.

Those include the mass killing of Hindus in the far north of Rakhine, where the military took news hounds &dash; including AFP &dash; to witness the exhumation of putrid bodies from a grave in September.

The holy warriors, known as the Arakan Rohingya Salv­a­tion Army (ARSA), denied responsibility at the time.

But Amnesty Internati­onal said on Tuesday that a new investigation had confirmed the group killed 53 Hindus "execution-style" &dash; mostly children &dash; in the Kha Maung Seik village cluster in northern Maungdaw.

[DAWN] KARACHI: An antiterrorism court has asked the provincial home department to inform it as to when will the military authorities shift the custody of Uzair Jan Baloch, the chief of the defunct Peoples Aman Committee (PAC), back to prison.

Nearly 62 criminal cases are pending trial against Uzair and others before different antiterrorism courts in the judicial complex.

The ATC-VI judge, who is conducting trial of a case pertaining to kidnapping and murder of a policeman against Uzair and others, sent a letter to the registrar of the provincial home department.

The letter stated that the custody of Uzair was shifted from the Central Prison Bloody Karachi...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... to the Army’s Crops-V in Karachi on April 11, 2017 in the presence of the Civil Judge and Judicial Magistrate-XI (South) for investigation in an explosives and arms case.

"Due to non-presence of accused Uzair Jan Baloch during the trial before this court, due to said reasons, the case pertaining to year 2012 could not be proceeded," stated the letter, a copy of which is available with Dawn.

"It is further directed that confirmation is required regarding the production of custody of accused Uzair Jan Baloch for hearing on each date before this court or may inform any time limit to this court regarding shifting the custody of the said accused from 5 Crops Karachi to Central Prison Karachi to avoid any further impediment," it added. The registrar was directed to submit a reply to the letter by the next date of hearing.

[DAWN] An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Islamabad was informed on Wednesday that the federal government will apprise the court by June 27 about its final decision regarding bringing 27 Indian citizens to the witness box in connection with Mumbai attacks case.

[DAWN] A 22-year-old woman and her infant son died after falling from the eighth floor of a building in Delhi Colony area of Bloody Karachi...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... on Wednesday, hospital officials said. The dear departed were allegedly pushed from the balcony by the woman's mother-in-law, police said.

"It appears to be a double murder case of the mother and her infant son," said Karachi South-SSP Sarfraz Nawaz Sheikh.

The senior officer said Ramsha and Rizwan Ahmed had married a year-and-half ago against the will of Ahmed’s parents, therefore she was not accepted by his family.

Initially, the couple moved to Dubai, but some six months back they had returned to Karachi and started living with Ahmed’s parents at the family’s apartment in Delhi Colony, where the incident happened.

When Ramsha and her infant son fell from the eighth floor of the building some women gathered around them. There, the maimed woman told them that she was thrown from the balcony of the flat by her mother-in-law, police said.

Initially, SSP Sheikh said that police would lodge FIR into the double murder case "after getting a proper statement of the woman’s parents and witnesses."

However,alcohol has never solved anybody's problems. But then, neither has milk... later in the day, Frere police registered the murder case on the complaint of the dear departed woman’s father, Mohammed Khalid, and tossed in the clinkMaw!

[BREITBART] Missouri Democrat Sen. Claire McCaskill...Now, why would I pay taxes on my airplane? Send the bill to the taxpayers!... trails not one but two Republican challengers in head-to-head matchups, according to a poll released Tuesday.
The poll by Gravis Marketing &dash; commissioned by Republican candidate Austin Peterson &dash; shows the incumbent trailing state Attorney General Josh Hawley and libertarian-leaning Petersen by more than the margin of error.

"In the first match-up, Hawley was picked by 50 percent of respondents and McCaskill was chosen by 43 percent. In the second, 56 percent of respondents chose Petersen, and 40 percent picked McCaskill. The margin of error for the survey was 3.4 percentage points," reports USA Today.

In response to the poll, Petersen said, "Both (Hawley and McCaskill) have shown themselves to be ladder-climbing career politicians who prioritize professional gain over honest representation of the electorate.

"After nearly a year of hearing Missourians express their frustration with the insider politics in Jefferson City and Washington on the campaign trail, I can’t say I’m surprised by these results."

[DAILYWIRE] Democrat Rep. Al Green (D-TX) had harsh words for President Trump late Tuesday, warning that if Democrats retake the House of Representatives in November, they´ll begin the 2019 legislative session with articles of impeachment, even if Trump hasn´t done anything to require it. Speaking to C-Span, Rep. Green suggested that he has the "right and privilege" to impeach the president, even absent evidence that the president has committed "high crimes" or "misdemeanors" by virtue of the U.S. Constitution. "There’s a good likelihood there will be articles of impeachment" brought against the President, Rep. Green said.

If you have no use for the Constitution, neither do we. Remember, that is why the founders insisted we get to keep our guns. It was the ultimate Lefty that said "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun"

#5:
Since this nation is a constitutionally established federal republic, the Left should be informed that; no constitution, no federal republic. Which then means, no federal government and the states revert to their individual sovereign status. And then comes the retribution by the people that the politicians so richly deserve.

How many miles is it to Quantico and Belvoir from DC and Congress? Drive time for heavy vehicles ? The Lefty's are going to reverse the Votes of the People ? Millions of ordinary people voted for Trump. I KNOW, Let's screw millions of Americans and say their Votes don't matter.
See how that works?

You want a new revolution? How well do you think New York and Massachusetts and California will do against the rest of the Country....the pink boys in tutus against the US Marines? Oh, you don't think the Marines would back the President ? Just a guess but Congress is mortal...or am I wrong? The Left can't be so STOO-pid they want to hang themselves. And DC does have lamp posts.

Maybe it won't be that bad, perhaps its an exaggeration. You happen to know any Marines? Ask one. See if they wear pink tutus.
Drive down to Quantico and just look around. Go walk around a Barracks back Quad and observe a squad stringing Machine gun ammo. Or walk around a Platoon early in the morning after Chow Hall...and shout "Fuck Trump, Hooray for Nancy Pelosi ! " in the Squad Bay ....and see what it gets you. You just MAY get a sudden and direct response.

Well, they won't like what comes after they reach their goal. They will be hunted and slaughtered mercilessly. Then the remaining Patriots could work to reconstituting the Nation, hopefully learning from some of the mistakes over the last 175 years or so.

[NYDAILYNEWS] Scientists in Scotland are preparing for a two-week-long DNA sweep of Loch Ness next month to map out all of the living creatures that inhabit it ‐ like, perhaps, the Loch Ness monster.The team in charge of the genetic coding of the U.K.'s largest freshwater ecosystem is skeptical that it will find any evidence of the mythical creature; but isn't completely ruling it out."Hoot, mon! We need tae take some swabs from auld Nessie!""I'm going into this thinking it's unlikely there is a monster, but I want to test that hypothesis," lead researcher Neil Gemmell told The Guardian. "What we'll get is a really nice survey of the biodiversity of Loch Ness.""Nae, Jock! You take the Nessie swabs, I'll get the rest!"
And that's the crux of the research trip. More interesting to the scientists than past sightings of Nessi is the knowledge they will gain from the DNA fragments left behind in the feathers, fur and feces of the animals that have moved through the loch. They expect to discover evidence of new species, particularly that of bacteria strains."Ye hae no idea how to take a swab from yon wee bacterium!"
"While the prospect of looking for evidence of the Loch Ness monster is the hook to this project, there is an extraordinary amount of new knowledge that we will gain from the work about organisms that inhabit Loch Ness," Gemmell said."O' course aye do! Aye'll use yon eentsy weentsy swab!"
The focus on fact hasn't dampened the excitement of some believers, however. A local expert, Adrian Shine, who's joining the hunt from the Loch Ness Project, said last year that people still hope the "monster" is real because, "people tend to look for something bigger than themselves ‐ something frightening, something mysterious or something hidden.""So ye get to swab yon gigantic sleekit carnivorous beastie!"
The legend of the water creature dates back to a seventh century story about St. Columba who allegedly saved a man from the beast by ordering it to back down. More recently, a 1934 newspaper picture known as "the surgeon's photograph" of a long-necked animal rekindled interest and since then, over 1,000 people have claimed to have spotted it - even though the photo was debunked as a fake in 1994."Hoot! Here's yer Saint Columba medallion! Get tae work!"

I know, row about a mile into the Loch and dip a swab in the water and then place the wet little wick in a test tube and then hurry back and have it EXTENSIVELY analyzed SCIENTIFICALLY. Then tell us all what you find....DNA wise, I mean.

OR swab the wet rocks selectively and be sure and do a representative swab on a few algae and fish selectively , carefully now, be thorough.. Have we missed anything?

Maybe drop an anchor into the bottom mud, DNA sample that too. Just to be sure. Loch Ness is a BIG place...and Nessie has to have a Breeding Population to maintain a "monster" for how many hundreds of years , is it? Not just one, mind you. Say a breeding population of say...fifty creatures, at least. Got that?

#2:
Took a bunch of pictures ontop of Urquhart castle (the ruins you occasionally see in Loch Ness pictures). Sunny day, bunch of boats and waterskiiers in the water.

Later the film was developed and we saw the monster. Dark shape sticking up out of the water with a wake, looked like a dinosaur head.

Then we looked through all the photos and found the same shape again, this time you could see the shape was a bit clearer, you could see the water skis, the outstretched arms holding the tow rope were clear and no longer looked like a snout, and the boat was barely in the shot.

Couldn't help wonder how many sightings involved a similar event with the second photo unavailable or destroyed.
